Welcome to our strategy guide video on how to beat the - potentially frustrating - Salve-Maker sub-boss known as Qata (and he's really worth beating for his uber-helpful job class skills). 9999 HP + KO recovery in one turn anyone???
We'll talk you through our strategies, the things you really shouldn't do in this battle and how - even with only the bare minimum of help (level 31 characters/no ab-link or summons used) - you can still win.
-----------------------------------------------------
The Salve-maker can be annoying to take down if you go in unprepared. He uses Poison Hi-Potion to deal 1000 damage and inflict damage to a character--group-cast Cura to keep your party healthily above 1000 HP. When Qada's feeling the pain, he will use Water of Life to cause Regen, healing his HP each turn--get rid of this with Dispel (purchased from Hartschild; requires a Level 9 White Mage).
Most annoying though is his Dark Breath, which causes damage equal to his missing HP; once Qada's HP is reduced by 2000 (likely very early on), this will be an instant K.O.
After the inevitable K.O. you'll want to use a Phoenix Down or cast Raise to bring back your fallen comrade ASAP. We advise keeping a healthy amount of BP in reserve so you can Brave to revive a character and heal them on the same turn, as Qada may just off your resurrected and weak ally on his turn.
Qada will Default on occasions; he will also attack three times, before going down to -1 BP. When Qada is immobile, use that chance to fix up your party and dish out the punishment. Don't bother Defaulting to reduce damage, although it's good for saving up BP.
